Fractures: Poems of Breaking by Evelyn Valehart

This poetry collection focussed on trauma, grief/loss and how you can find yourself feeling dealing in the aftermath of life. Some fantastic poems of this collection to me were: A Language Without Sound, about how actions speak more than words can. Between My Ribs and the Rain, a beautiful rhyming poem about where ache remains of pain as it lingers affecting you. The Body Keeps Its Secrets, how when memories in the brain fade, touch can remind you and still trigger you of the past. The Body Remembers Before the Mind, almost descriptive of triggers to trauma your mind can bury to try protect you from feeling. How Silence Cuts, about the pain of losing someone and it being finite. A lot of deeply moving poetry and definitely one of the best I've read relating to trauma and loss.
